 Not taking a position, I just want to be sure that technical details are
 accurate.

 It's possible to completely disable auto-updating in uBO, it's one
 checkbox -- all the files needed by uBO at install time are part of the
 package and loaded from there at launch time (except for region-specific
 lists). When auto-update is disabled, uBO never ever connects to remote
 servers without explicit user intervention.

 In any case, if *ever* there was a list of specific requirements, I will
 be willing to do the work for uBO to meet these requirements.
